    Materialism is a philosophical school, and its opposite is "idealism";

    Realism is a literary genre, and the opposite is "romanticism."

    It is impossible for any one school of philosophy to coexist with other schools of philosophy, and it is absolutely contradictory; But literary and artistic genres seem to be opposites, but they can be integrated. Materialism and idealism represent two distinct worldviews, one that acknowledges that matter is something that objectively exists independently of human consciousness; The other holds that consciousness dominates matter and that consciousness creates matter.

    At its simplest, materialists believe that material existence is objective and does not depend on consciousness; Idealists believe that supernatural forces (such as gods) create and dominate the physical world, and that this force is called "first consciousness" and that when the first consciousness dies, the world ceases to exist.

    In literature and art, it is divided into many genres such as realism, romanticism, and naturalism according to the different methods of creation. Realism and Romanticism are the dominant genres. Realism basically replicates reality, depicting an event head-on, and all his creative elements have obvious realistic prototypes, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"; Romanticism uses exaggerated or supernatural means to represent the world, such as "Journey to the West".

    There is no absolute contradiction between the two, and Romanticism still relies on reality, but the processing component is large, and the exaggeration can be seen everywhere, and he mainly gives people hope, a kind of supernatural hope. For example, if you look at Jin Yong's martial arts, the warrior who fights unevenly does not exist in reality, but as the embodiment of justice, people hope that such a chivalrous man will appear to eliminate harm for the people. The realist protagonists live strictly according to the rules of the real world, but their struggles cannot always be victorious, and when a kind of defeat comes completely, the author may use romanticism to impose a halo of hope on the protagonist, such as the occurrence of miracles, etc.

    Therefore, realism and romanticism and many other literary and artistic schools are interchangeable. There is no absolute connection between literary and philosophical schools. This is not to say that romantics are necessarily idealists, and vice versa.

    Just as scientists are not necessarily atheists, Newton was a proponent of theology, but his contributions to the natural sciences were enormous.

    Materialism is the belief that the original principle of the world is matter, and matter determines consciousness.

    Realism (which I understand as pragmatism) is the belief that what is useful in the world is the truth, and what is beneficial to humanity is right.

    No. Materialism: Looking at the mountain is the mountain, it is the mountain outside the heart.

    Idealism: Look at the mountain or the mountain, the difference is that the mountain is in the heart.

    There is no right or wrong in the world, how can it be good or bad?

    I choose BThere is a difference in the primacy of thinking and being.

    Materialism, that is, materialism, Marxism believes that materialism is one of the two basic schools of philosophy, which is opposed to idealism, and advocates that matter is the first nature, spirit is the second nature, the origin of the world is matter, and spirit is the projection and reflection of matter. It is a fundamental view of ontology in philosophy. Between consciousness and matter, matter determines consciousness, consciousness is the reflection of the objective world in the human brain, and the objective world is independent of consciousness, and subjective initiative is different from other life consciousness.

    Materialism insists that the theory of reflection is right

    Materialism, the basic school of philosophy as opposed to idealism. insist on the primacy of matter and the secondness of spirit on basic philosophical issues; The unity of the world lies in materiality; Consciousness is the product of the development of the material world to a certain stage; Human cognition is a reflection of objective existence.

    Materialism acknowledges that the world is knowable, but denies the existence of omniscient. Materialism recognizes that the above assertion contains a contradiction, but does not try to resolve this contradiction, but admits it. Unitarianism also acknowledges the existence of a paradox.

    According to the number of primitives, materialism is divided into two types, monism and dualism. Monist materialism recognizes only one primordial principle of matter, which is also called mechanical materialism. Dualist materialism recognizes the two primordial principles of matter and motion, also known as dialectical materialism.

    Dialectical materialism does not distinguish between the movement of nature and the movement of man, nor does it distinguish between production, practice and speculation between the movement of man, believing that they are essentially the same and can be uniformly measured by time. Materialist celebrities include Russell, Mozi, Marx, and Engels, and idealistic celebrities include Hegel.

    Matter is the philosophical category of objective reality, and the only characteristic of matter is objective reality, which is perceived by man, and exists independently of our senses, and is reproduced, photographed, and reflected by our senses.

    Say hello first, it's also Kaomazhe!! This is after the finishing up.

    Both the reflection theory of dialectical materialism and the reflection theory of old materialism adhere to the epistemic line from objects to sensations and thoughts, and believe that cognition is the reflection of the subject on the object. The two theories of reflection are fundamentally different.

    1) The mechanical reflection theory of the old materialism examines the relationship between the subject and the object without the social and practical nature of the subject, and regards the object as only the object of cognition, and the object of his practice without understanding at all. It is not possible to understand the object from the aspect of knowing the subject, and understanding it is to understand the intuitive mirror-like reaction of the subject to the object.

    2) The active reflection theory of dialectical materialism is a transcendence of the mechanical reflection theory of the old materialism, he introduces the practical viewpoint into the epistemology, and combines the epistemology with the dialectic, scientifically explains the essence of cognition, and regards cognition as the process of the subject's active reflection of the object, so that the reflection theory of dialectical materialism becomes the active revolutionary reflection theory.

    3) The reflection theory of dialectical materialism is the reflection theory of the active revolution. The reflection theory of old materialism is a passive, passive, intuitive reflection theory.

    Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

    Dialectical materialism holds that only practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The reason why practice is the only criterion for testing truth is determined by the characteristics of practice and the nature of truth.

    1 The nature of truth dictates that truth can only be tested by practice. Truth is a category that marks the conformity between subjectivity and objectivity, therefore, to judge whether and to what extent subjectivity and objectivity are consistent cannot be solved in the subjective realm, and it is not possible to do so only within the scope of the objective world.

    2 The characteristics of practice determine that only practice can be the criterion for testing truth. Practice is the objective material activity of people to transform the world, and it is something that is subjectively seen in the objective. Practice is linked to subjectivity on the one hand, and to the objective world on the other.

    People practice with certain theoretical viewpoints, which leads to certain objective effects, so that they can compare the original theoretical understanding with the objective reality, and thus directly test the truth of the theory. It can be seen from this that practice has a double direct reality, not only is it a direct reality in itself, but it is also able to make theory a reality, which makes it a criterion for testing truth. In short, only practice can link and contrast the subjective with the objective, and only practice has the character of direct reality, so practice has become the only criterion for testing the truth of knowledge.

    1.Ancient naïve materialism.

    Naive materialism is also known as "naïve materialism". A philosophical doctrine that explains the origin of the world in terms of one or more specific forms of matter. The initial historical form of the development of materialism.

    It denies that the world was created by God, and reduces the origin of the world to some specific material form or forms, in an attempt to find the unity of natural phenomena with infinite diversity.

    2.Modern metaphysical materialism.

    Modern metaphysical materialism enriches and develops materialism on the basis of summarizing the achievements of natural science. However, it reduces matter to atoms in the sense of natural science, and believes that atoms are the origin of the world, and the properties of atoms are the properties of matter, so they have limitations such as mechanical, metaphysical, and idealistic in the view of history.

    3.Modern dialectical materialism.

    Dialectical materialism (i.e., modern materialism) is a logical and theoretical thinking form of systematic science founded by Marx and Engels on the basis of summarizing natural science, social science and thinking science, --- the rational kernel of Hegel's dialectics and the 'basic kernel' of Feuerbach's materialism by Marx and Engels critically absorbing the German classical philosophy.

This statement cannot be regarded as false, and in dialectical terms, it can only be said to be incomplete. Because materialism has gone through several stages in the process of development, there are historical materialism, ancient naïve materialism, mechanical materialism, and Marxist materialist philosophy. Several of these stages are the recognition that consciousness determines matter, that is, they admit that social consciousness determines social existence. >>>More

The concept of realism, when it appears in the field of art, refers to the creative style of realism, and refers to realism in a broad sense. When it appears in the history of art, it refers to a school of painting in France in the 19th century, in the narrow sense of realism, don't be confused. If it refers to the school of realism, it has long since died out, only exists in museums, and what is still alive is the creative style of generalized realism.
